An interesting attempt of making Mappy's equivalent of Super Mario Bros. Levels end up being way easier than Mappy in terms of fully avoiding enemies, and I don't know whether it's the game or lag introduced by Nintendo Switch Online, but jumping to a platform off a trampoline definitely isn't as smooth feeling or snappy as regular Mappy. But I really like the introduction of traps to get out of what often feel like unfair situations in Mappy. It was just pleasant enough that I could definitely see myself doing all 4 loops that the game has, if it weren't for the god awful 4th stage. Breaking away from the usual stage format, it tries to put the Mappy controls and mechanics into like, a regular platformer level and it sucks so bad. Moving from trampoline to trampoline feels awful when they're moving, it's extremely easy to die of fall damage, and the whole level feels like the game is trying to reject it from its body because of how much it does not work. Rest of the game is neat, but that level alone makes me hesitant to recommend this or revisit it.
